Add pinyin to the characters:

Guangzhou is sometimes called the “City of Goats” ( 羊城 , Yángchéng)

came to Guangzhou and brought sheaves of rice and blessings to the local

people. Now a Five-goat Statue ( 五羊雕塑 , Wǔ Yáng Diāosù) in Yuexiu Park ( 越秀

公园 , Yuèxiù Gōngyuán) is a symbol ( 象征 , xiàngzhēng) of Guangzhou.
